They are, (1) Gravity, (2) The Weak Force, (3) Electromagnetism and (4) The Strong Force. But, since 2000, thinking on the most original, eternal, fundamental particles, it is found by the author through meditation of octo-microscopic nature, (1) self-conscious, (2) Intellect, (3) Mind, (4) Space, and Principle Properties of each of the following, (5) Air, (6) Light, (7) Water, (8) Earth; from the Modern Science and the Hindu Phylosophy particularly, ShriMadBhagWadGeeta. that, there must be some fundamental ever existing original particles as building blocks of the Nature, the Universe. Yethakashashthito nityam Vayuh… means as there is air always attached to space, all objects and events in the universe are attached to the space. Space is also self conscious as per the Geeta. The Dark Energy matter in astronomy corresponds to the Vayuh in Geeta. Something moving is energy, Dark photons, always in motion in space is energy and that's the Dark Energy in space. The particles of the Dark Energy are named 'Dark Photons' by the author. These particles represent all above fundamental four forces of the nature and also the properties of mass, electricity and magnetism, And a mesh of neutral field lines which, assume any field according to respective particles coming into existence in space-Domains.

Introduction In modern theoretical views, the origin of the mass and the fine structure con- stant (the symbol α) one relates with the phenomena of interaction [1]-[6], thus the search for a connection between the mass of elementary particles (EP) and α seems to be quite natural. However, the establishment of this connection is complicated by the fact that the contents of α and mass are not sufficiently re- vealed.

  • Dynamical Evidence for a Fifth Force Explanation of the ATOMKI Nuclear Anomalies
    PHYSICAL REVIEW D 102, 036016 (2020) Dynamical evidence for a fifth force explanation of the ATOMKI nuclear anomalies † ‡ Jonathan L. Feng ,* Tim M. P. Tait , and Christopher B. Verhaaren Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of California, Irvine, California 92697-4575, USA (Received 18 June 2020; accepted 30 July 2020; published 17 August 2020) Recent anomalies in 8Be and 4He nuclear decays can be explained by postulating a fifth force mediated by a new boson X. The distributions of both transitions are consistent with the same X mass, 17 MeV, providing kinematic evidence for a single new particle explanation. In this work, we examine whether the new results also provide dynamical evidence for a new particle explanation, that is, whether the observed decay rates of both anomalies can be described by a single hypothesis for the X boson’s interactions. We consider the observed 8Be and 4He excited nuclei, as well as a 12C excited nucleus; together these span the possible JP quantum numbers up to spin 1 for excited nuclei. For each transition, we determine whether scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, or axial vector X particles can mediate the decay, and we construct the leading operators in a nuclear physics effective field theory that describes them. Assuming parity conservation, the scalar case is excluded and the pseudoscalar case is highly disfavored. Remarkably, however, the protophobic vector gauge boson, first proposed to explain only the 8Be anomaly, also explains the 4He anomaly within experimental uncertainties. We predict signal rates for other closely related nuclear measurements, which, if confirmed by the ATOMKI group and others, would provide overwhelming evidence that a fifth force has been discovered.

  • A 'No-Brainer Nobel Prize': Hungarian Scientists May Have Found a Fifth
    A 'no-brainer Nobel Prize': Hungarian scientists may have found a fifth force of nature By Ryan Prior, CNN ! Updated 2:44 PM ET, Sat November 23, 2019 (CNN) — Physics centers essentially on four forces that control our known, visible universe, governing everything from the production of heat in the sun to the way your laptop works. They are gravity, electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force, and the strong force. Physicist Attila Krasznahorkay, right, works with a fellow researcher at the Institute for Nuclear Research at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. New research may be leading us closer to one more. Scientists at the Institute for Nuclear Research at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (Atomki) have posted findings showing what could be an example of that fifth force at work. The scientists were closely watching how an excited helium atom emitted light as it decayed. The particles split at an unusual angle -- 115 degrees -- which couldn't be explained by known physics. The study's lead scientist, Attila Krasznahorkay, told CNN that this was the second time his team had detected a new particle, which they call X17, because they calculated its mass at 17 megaelectronvolts. "X17 could be a particle, which connects our visible world with the dark matter," he said in an email. Jonathan Feng, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of California at Irvine told CNN he's been following the Hungarian team's work for years, and believes its research is shaping up to be a game changer. If these results can be replicated, "this would be a no-brainer Nobel Prize," he said.

  • Searching for a Dark Photon Signal with PADME
    Andromeda Proceedings BSM 2021, Online Searching for a Dark Photon Signal with PADME F. Oliva on behalf of the PADME collaboration Universit`adel Salento and INFN Lecce, Via per Arnesano, 73100 Lecce, Italy Abstract PADME (Positron Annihilation into Dark Matter Experiment) is a fixed target experiment located at the Beam Test Facility (BTF) at the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (LNF) that searches for a massive dark photon A0 in the process e+e− ! gA0, using a positron beam of energy up to 550 MeV. The experiment uses the missing mass technique, which allows to search for the dark photon in a model independent way. −3 2 A sensitivity on the mixing constant e > 10 for a dark photon mass in the range 1 ≤ mA0 ≤ 23.7 MeV/c can be achieved by collecting an integrated luminosity of 4 × 1013 positrons on target. Keywords: dark matter, dark photon, fixed target experiment DOI: 10.31526/ACP.BSM-2021.1 1. DARK MATTER AND DARK PHOTON The Universe consists of ordinary baryonic matter for 5%, dark matter for 26%, and dark energy for the remaining 69%, in according to the Standard Model of Cosmology. The Standard Model of particle physics (SM) is not sufficient to explain the existence of the dark matter and nowadays models of Physics Beyond the SM (BSM) which foresee dark matter candidates are attracting the attention of the whole scientific community. A possible scenario is the introduction of a Dark Sector (DS) [1] in which dark particles are confined, that can only feebly interact with the world that we know through a portal.

  • X17 Factor Solve Dark Matter Mystery
    X17 Factor Solve Dark Matter Mystery A team of scientists in Hungary recently published a paper that hints at the existence of a previously unknown subatomic particle. [23] In an international collaboration between Japan and Sweden, scientists clarified how gravity affects the shape of matter near the black hole in binary system Cygnus X-1. [22] New research shows the first evidence of strong winds around black holes throughout bright outburst events when a black hole rapidly consumes mass. [21] Chris Packham, associate professor of physics and astronomy at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), has collaborated on a new study that expands the scientific community's understanding of black holes in our galaxy and the magnetic fields that surround them. [20] In a paper published today in the journal Science, University of Florida scientists have discovered these tears in the fabric of the universe have significantly weaker magnetic fields than previously thought. [19] The group explains their theory in a paper published in the journal Physical Review Letters—it involves the idea of primordial black holes (PBHs) infesting the centers of neutron stars and eating them from the inside out. [18] But for rotating black holes, there’s a region outside the event horizon where strange and extraordinary things can happen, and these extraordinary possibilities are the focus of a new paper in the American Physical Society journal Physical Review Letters. [17] Astronomers have constructed the first map of the universe based on the positions of supermassive black holes, which reveals the large-scale structure of the universe.

On the cover of this issue, NASA astronaut Drew Morgan is photographed AMS 400 km above Earth’s surface installing a new coolant system for the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) during a crucial spacewalk on 2 December. KEEPS Masterminded by charm–quark co-discoverer Sam Ting of MIT, and assembled and overseen by an international team at CERN, AMS has been attached to the International Space Station since 2011. Its various ITS subdetectors, which include a silicon tracker embedded in a 0.15 T magnet, have so far clocked up almost 150 billion charged cosmic rays with energies COOL up to the multi-TeV range and produced results that contradict conventional understanding. The new coolant system (which was delivered by an Antares rocket on 2 November) will extend the lifetime of AMS until the end of the decade, allowing more conclusive statements to be made about the origin of the unexpected observations. A full report on the unprecedented AMS intervention – and a taste of the experiment’s latest results – will appear on cerncourier.com following the final extravehicular activity by Drew and his colleagues in mid-January. Meanwhile, in this issue we investigate an intriguing anomaly in nuclear decay rates seen by the “Atomki” experiment, learn about the wider value of anomalies to phenomenologists, talk to theorist John Ellis about the past, present and future of the field, and explore high-level attempts to solve the flavour puzzle.
